	Family trees: Tracing the world's ancestor A Radio 4 listener asked about the bloodline between Jesus and King David. This raised a wider genealogical issue - how many generations are needed before someone who is living today is the ancestor of everyone on the planet? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19331938

	That is why it is very important for GR to update the Tree so that it can cope with the same people appearing on different branches.

	Agree :-D :-D And important to keep the tree very simple and easy for King David to use. Not the nonsense we have been given. I would also like to see a much simpler way of grouping families and printing them off. Good to see Genes are working on some of teh right things for us.
